They could use a coat of protectant: they look sorta brown... :sweat:

Ohhhhhhh. Protectant? I'll look into that. They ARE brown. I live on a construction site (dirt roads for the most part) and our driveway was being worked on.

LOL! They do! I was thinking of getting "Wynter", since the car is white and it's my alias. But Sensei would be cool, too. :rofl:

Oh.

Maybe hosing 'em off might be enough. :victory:

I doubt "Sensei" would be available still. But "Wynter" would be cool too :)

So ka.

You probably need to scrub the dirt off the tires, since it sticks to the tires...

Nono, the pics was taken a long time ago. Like last week. It's too dark outside right now for me to take new pics.

White cars get dirty fast.

True, but don't EVER buy a black car. Those things are impossible to keep clean :beaten: [/list:u]

This I know. We have two black cars in the family. And you can see every scratch in them, too. At least I don't have to worry about those on a white car...

Not that I plan to bang it up or anything...

I had a white car once... It's not that bad.

Unless there's a very light drizzle or fog... Then the dirt turns to mud.

Yup, and that's the annoying part. There's always fog in our area in the morning because of the river. :bleh:

My car is white. It gets annoying driving behind trucks that drip water mixed with coal dust :beaten:

Don't park under trees or lamposts.

And clean it off ASAP or it'll eat through the finish... :sweat:

OMG! Bird poop will eat through the finish?! Yuck.

Thanks for that tip. Ugh, poop is gross.

I usually carry a container of water in my trunk to rinse off that stuff if it's there.


Yeah, I'm type A.

That actually sounds like a really good idea. I could use it to spray off the squashed bugs on the car, too. :victory:

i keep a small spray bottle of quick detailer and a microfiber towel in my secret compartment. But usually the 2 coats of sealant is usually enough til i can get home and wash it off.
